Donna Louise Egre (nee Sautter) passed away on March 18, 2012,
at
the age of 88.

Donna was born in Idaho on Sept. 24, 1923, to Doris and John
"George"
Sautter. She was preceded in death in 2004 by her beloved husband of
over 59 years, "Burt." She was raised in DeForest, where she
excelled
academically, in forensics, and on the clarinet while attending
DeForest High School.

Donna served as a Cadet Nurse during world War II, while Burt was a
U.S. Army 8th Air Force P-51 Mustang pilot. She graduated from St.
Mary's Nursing School and relished her profession as a registered
nurse at Milwaukee’s Columbia Hospital for approximately 30 years.
Throughout life, she retained her sharp mind and her dedication to
caring for and about others.

Donna’s family moved from Milwaukee to Mequon in 1956. She
was an
active participant in the PTA, before encouraging her children
through college. Since 2003, she lived at Newcastle Place, where
she
enjoyed and was adored by staff and residents. Donna derived great
pleasure from reading, her book club, sewing, needle point,
crocheting, and arts and crafts. She was as devoted a pet lover
as
one could ever imagine.

A memorial service will be conducted on April 14, at 11 a.m., at
Newcastle Place, 12600 N. Port Washington Road, Mequon, 387-8800.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial gift to the Ozaukee County Humane
Society would be appreciated.
